I took it, and I don't really know how I did. Can anybody tell me if these are good scores:
Critical Reading: 67 Math: 55 (Yeah, I suck at math big time) Writing Skills: 74
It also says Percentile: 95. Does that mean I'm in the top, or bottom 95? Wait...do I really want to know?

Yes, I took my PSAT as a sophomore and got an 1350 (65,70), but I took it again as ajunior and got a 1510 (76, 75) I was a National Merit Scholar and it helped pay for most of my tuition.. great stuff.

I'm a highschool drop-out ;D jk
No, I'm heading for university as a matter of fact, but I think that the PSATs are only in the US, so that's why I don't have to take them.

*starts to bring thread back on-topic* first of all, i should explain more about percentile than i did above >_>, it basically means what percent of the people you're being compared to you scored higher than. So usually its like 0 - 99 % are possible. TF you being 95 means you scored higher than 95% of whoever you are being compared to. I'm a highschool drop-out ;D jk No, I'm heading for university as a matter of fact, but I think that the PSATs are only in the US, so that's why I don't have to take them. PSAT = Preliminary SAT, and yes SAT/ACT are the major standardized tests in the USA, virtually every college requires atleast one. In the northeast atleast, the SAT is the predominant one that students take, however in like midwest/south more take the ACT which is oriented towards the actual subject material in classes. i feel like bragging about my PSAT scores because i'm a dick >_> (also remember that both critical reading and writing matter, along with math because of the "new SAT" they are introducing starting this year that is out of 2400 with an essay, basically incorporating the original SAT II Writing test with the SAT I, but the SAT II's are now called the SAT Subject Tests so whatever, its convoluted, confusing, and standardized testing sucks. The PSAT doesn't actually include an essay due to difficulties in grading all of them but the questions are supposed to be designed to show how well you would do on the essay anyhow . Each of the 3 sections is now worth 800 possible points, or 80 possible points on the PSAT, so basically add a 0 to your scores to see what the relative numbers relate to the SAT scores. Also, the PSAT isn't the best indicator of your SAT score but its alright) Critical Reading: 69 Math: 80 Writing Skills: 75 Selection Index for NMSQT: 224 Total Percentile: 99 ;D this basically means i'll be considered (well i have a very good chance atleast, they take the top half of the top percent) for the National Merit program thingie semi-finalist.

Yes, you only need to take them here (in Canada) if you're going to go to college in the US or something. I didn't, but some of my friends did. =X

My friend who moved back to Canada took the SATs and wasn't happy that they didn't count for anything when she applied for college. I took the PSATs...don't remember what I got. I think I did average or above. Anyways, they're a good indicator of where you are. Your (TF) scores are pretty high. Higher than mine at least. If you score high enough, you'd get scholarship money. That is - if you're a junior only.
